Consent Agenda Item No. 2e
Disposal of Surplus Property
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Jeff Kersten, Chief Financial Officer
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding amending
Ordinance 2538 found in Chapter 1, “General Provisions”, of the Code of Ordinances of the
City of College Station, Texas, Section 15, “Disposition of Abandoned or Unclaimed
Property; Disposition of Salvage or Surplus Property; and Disposition of Seized Weapons,
Explosive Weapons, or Other Prohibited Contraband”.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends amending the current ordinance as it relates
specifically to the disposal of salvage and surplus property.
Summary: There are no state laws or charter provisions that govern the disposition of
salvage and surplus personal property. In 1979, the Council approved the first ordinance
prescribing the process for disposal of surplus property. In 2001, that ordinance was
repealed and replaced with a new Chapter 15 in Chapter 1 of the Code of Ordinances which
provides for the direct transfer of surplus property to other city departments; if no city
department requests the transfer, the property is made available to other local
governments; if no city department or local government acquires the salvage/surplus
property it is disposed by public auction, internet auction, or sealed competitive bids.
Staff recommends deletion of the paragraph that reads “no transfer of salvage or
surplus property with a fair market value greater than $50,000, other than
transfers among city departments, shall be made or effected unless it is first
approved by the City Council.”
Our goal is to maximize the value of salvage and surplus property by avoiding hidden costs
associated with storage, maintenance, and obsolescence. Deleting this paragraph will allow
City staff to expeditiously transfer the sale of heavy equipment and other salvage and/or
surplus personal property to the highest bidder.
Staff also recommends editing out the language “as such, in violation of the City of
College Station City Charter, Section 114 ’Personal Interest’” on the end of the
sentence “No transfer of salvage or surplus property shall be made to any member
of the City Council or any officer or employee of the City, except in their official
capacities.” The deletion of the language does not change the meaning and enhances the
readability of the section.
Budget & Financial Summary: This amendment could result in higher bid prices and
quicker disposal of personal property identified as salvage or surplus.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION SERVICE PLAN
FOR THE AREA TO BE ANNEXED
EFFECTIVE 14 AUGUST 2008
I. ANNEXATION AREA
The annexation area is located in the City of College Station's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. The property
is illustrated in Figure 1 and generally described below:
General Description – the front portion of Lot 7R of Block 2 of the Rock Prairie Road West
Business Park., located in the 3200 block of Rock Prairie Road West, generally located on the
south side of Rock Prairie Road West, approximately 2,000 feet west of the intersection of
Rock Prairie Road and Wellborn Road and consisting of 1.02 acres.
II. INTRODUCTION
This service plan has been prepared in accordance with the TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE,
Sections 43.021, 43.065, and 43.056(b)-(o) (Vernon 1999, AND VERNON SUPP. 2007, as amended from
time to time). Municipal facilities and services to the annexed area described above will be provided or
made available on behalf of the City in accordance with the following plan. This plan provides a
program under which the City of College Station will provide full municipal services to the annexed
area. All services will be provided within the time provided in TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE,
Section 43.056(B).
This Service Plan does not:
· require the creation of another political subdivision;
· require a landowner in the area to fund the capital improvements necessary to
provide municipal services in a manner inconsistent with Chapter 395, Texas Local
Government Code; or
· provide services in the area in a manner that would have the effect of reducing by
more than a negligible amount the level of fire and police protection and emergency
medical services provided within the corporate boundaries of the municipality
before annexation.
The level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance provided to the annexed area is
comparable to the level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance available in other
parts of the City with topography, land use, and population density similar to those contemplated or
projected in the annexed area.

III. SERVICE COMPONENTS
This plan contains three service components: (1) Immediate Services, (2) Additional Services, and (3)
Capital Improvement Program.
Immediate Services
As required by TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTION 43.056(B), certain municipal services will be
provided by the City of College Station immediately upon the effective date of annexation. These
services include:
· police protection;
· fire protection;
· emergency medical services;
· solid waste collection, except as provided by Subsection 43.056(o);
· operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities in the annexed area
that are not within the service area of another water or wastewater utility;
· operation and maintenance of roads, and streets, including road and street
lighting;*
· operation and maintenance of public parks, playgrounds, and swimming pools; and
· operation and maintenance of any other publicly owned facility, building, or service.
*Note: Street lighting will be maintained for fixtures located within the service territory
of College Station Utilities.
A. Police Protection
Currently, the annexation area is under the jurisdiction of the Brazos County Sheriff’s
Department. Upon annexation the College Station Police Department will provide police service,
including routine patrol, traffic enforcement, and dispatch response to emergency and non-
emergency service calls.
B. Fire Protection
Currently, the annexation area is under the jurisdiction of Brazos County Emergency Services
District No. 1. Upon the effective date of annexation, the College Station Fire Department will
provide fire protection, including response to emergency calls for assistance, fire prevention
education, pre-fire planning, and target hazard inspections. In general, the Fire Department’s goal
is to provide a fire response time of five minutes or less.
Construction and development activities undertaken after the effective date of annexation shall
comply with all building, life safety and fire safety codes of the City of College Station.
C. Emergency Medical Services
Currently, the annexation area is under the jurisdiction of Brazos County Emergency Services
District No. 1. Upon the effective date of annexation, the College Station Fire Department will
provide emergency medical services (EMS). Each Fire Department ambulance, engine, and ladder
truck is capable of providing EMS, including defibrillation, medical administration, IV therapy,
advanced airway management, and initial treatment of injuries. In general, the Fire Department’s
goal is to provide an EMS response time of five minutes or less.
D. Solid Waste Collection
The annexation area is currently vacant and not provided with solid waste service. Upon the
effective date of annexation, the College Station Public Works Department will provide fee-based
solid waste collection service for future residential and/or commercial customers.
39
4
Residential Service – Residential solid waste collection (including brush and bulk items) is
provided once per week. All residential service will be provided at a point of collection adjacent
to, and accessible from, a public right-of-way or an improved surface acceptable to the City.
Residential solid waste collection vehicles will not conduct operations on private property.
However, residential service may be provided on private streets that comply with the Sanitation
Division’s requirements for surface material, vehicle clearance and turning radii. In the case of
multiple residences located on a privately owned road or drive, the City may require the
establishment of a mass collection point at an area adjacent to the nearest public right-of-way. The
City will provide residential solid waste containers.
Commercial Service - Containers and collection points may be located on private property,
provided that it can be easily accessed from a public right of way, and both the route of access and
the collection point meet the Sanitation Division’s requirements for approved surfaces, vehicle
clearance and turning radii. The City will provide standard commercial containers.
In order to secure solid waste collection services in the annexed areas, each property owner must
establish a utility account with the City of College Station. The City will not be responsible for
damage to private drives, streets, or parking areas by service trucks servicing containers.
E. Water and Wastewater Facilities
The City of College Station will provide water and wastewater service to areas that are not located
within the certificated service territory of another utility through existing facilities located within
or adjacent to the area. The annexation area is within the certificated water service territory of
Wellborn Special Utility District (WSUD), therefore, water service will be provided by WSUD.
The annexation area is currently not provided with wastewater service. The level of wastewater
service, infrastructure and infrastructure maintenance provided in the annexed area will be
comparable to the level of services, infrastructure and infrastructure maintenance available in
other parts of the City before annexation with topography, land use, and population density
similar to those reasonably contemplated or projected in the area. Municipal services to be
provided within the annexed area may be provided by any of the methods in which the City
provides services to other comparable areas.
F. Roads and Streets
There are no roads or street included in the annexation area.
G. Parks and Recreation Facilities
There are no public parks, playgrounds or swimming pools in the area proposed for annexation.
H. Other Publicly Owned Buildings and Facilities
The City of College Station is not aware of the existence of any publicly owned buildings in the
area proposed for annexation.
40
5
Additional Services
A. Building Permitting and Inspections
Currently, there is no permitting and inspection authority for the annexation area. Upon the
effective date of annexation, the City will provide building permits and inspection services. This
service will be made available to the annexed areas on the same basis and at the same level of
service as similar facilities throughout the City. Service is provided on a “cost recovery” basis,
and permit fees partially offset the costs of services delivered. Construction activities underway
prior to annexation may continue provided that all construction after annexation must comply
with City codes and ordinances.
All permits required by City codes and ordinances must be obtained for construction underway at
the time of annexation.
B. Planning and Development Services
Currently, there is no planning authority for the annexation area. Upon the effective date of
annexation, planning and development services will be provided through the administration of the
Unified Development Ordinance and the Subdivision Regulations, Chapter 9 of the College
Station Code of Ordinances.
Upon the effective date of annexation, the property will be zoned A-O (Agricultural Open). The
City's Comprehensive Plan will be used as the basis for evaluating rezoning requests after the
property is annexed.

Animal control services include response and investigation of reported animal bites, response to
reports of stray or “at large” animals, and response and investigation of animal cruelty and neglect

recycling collection is also provided once per week. Items accepted in the curbside recycling
program include:

IV. WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE PROVISION
This Water and Wastewater Service Plan (“Plan”) provides a program under which the City of College
Station will provide full municipal services to the annexed area. For the purpose of this plan, “full
municipal services” includes water and sewer services provided by the City within its full-purpose
boundaries. The level of water and sewer service, infrastructure and infrastructure maintenance
provided in the annexed area will be comparable to the level of services, infrastructure and infrastructure
maintenance available in other parts of the City before annexation with topography, land use, and
population density similar to those reasonably contemplated or projected in the area. Municipal services
to be provided within the annexed area may be any of the methods by which the City provides services to
other comparable areas. All services will be provided within the time provided in TEXAS LOCAL
GOVERNMENT CODE SEC. 43.056(B). The City may extend facilities under this plan or otherwise serve
this area through the use of Impact Fees as permitted under CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL
GOVERNMENT CODE.
Water and Wastewater facilities for future development that increases densities beyond the capital
improvements specified in this plan will be extended in accordance with the City’s Water and
Wastewater policy in existence at the time of development. The water and wastewater extension policy
is discussed in Section V, Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements. In general, the policy for
extension of utility service is “development driven” in that utility line extensions are typically installed
by developers, in conjunction with major development projects. The City may accept ownership and
maintenance of major facilities, such as gravity sewer lines, manholes, lift stations and/or wastewater
package plants, as required by the particular development. The City may elect to pay for upgrades or
oversize of infrastructure projects being installed by developers. As an area develops, developers or
homeowners extend water distribution and wastewater collection lines to individual lots.
Until an area becomes densely populated, the cost of utility extension is not feasible to be borne by a few
lot owners. Also, in the case of wastewater treatment, developments with large lots will normally be
constructed with on-site sewage facilities that are privately owned and operated.
Water
Water service in the annexation area is currently within the water service territory of WSUD. The
City of College Station does not have the right to serve areas outside of our CCN, therefore, no
water infrastructure will be provided to the annexation area following annexation.
Wastewater
Currently, there is no wastewater service to the proposed annexation area. However, at just over
an acre in size, it is large enough to be served by a private on-site sewer facility. The City of
College Station recently extended the Steeplechase sewer line across Rock Prairie Road West, near
I&GN Road and future development in the annexation area may access the existing public sewer
line through a combination of gravity lines and/or force mains. Exhibit “A” illustrates this sewer
service line.
As in other areas of College Station with similar topography, land use, and population density, the
annexation area could be served by a private sewer treatment system. However, at the owner’s
expense, the existing public sewer line on Rock Prairie Road West may also be utilized.
42
7
V. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Should the City make capital improvements to serve the annexed areas, the City reserves the right to levy
an impact fee to the properties annexed according to Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code
and the City's Code of Ordinances. The City may, from time to time, include construction of new,
expanded or replacement facilities in its Capital Improvements Program (CIP). Facilities to be included
in the CIP shall be determined on a City-wide basis. Priorities shall be established by the CIP plans of
the City, projected growth trends, and the City Council through its development plans and policies.
A. Police Protection (including animal control)
Police protection will be provided to the annexed areas through existing City facilities at a level of
service comparable to the level of service in other parts of the City before annexation with
topography, land use and population density similar to those reasonable contemplated or projected in
the area. It is anticipated that the implementation of police patrol activities can be effectively
accommodated within the current budget and staff appropriation.
B. Fire Protection (including EMS and Community Enhancement)
Fire protection will be provided to the annexed areas through existing City facilities and mutual aid
agreements at a level of service comparable to the level of service in other parts of the City before
annexation with topography, land use and population density similar to those reasonable
contemplated or projected in the area. It is anticipated that fire protection activities can be effectively
provided within the current budget and staff appropriation.
C. Solid Waste Collection
Solid waste collection services will be provided to the annexed areas through the City's existing
facilities or through franchise agreements with private services at a level of service comparable to
the level of service in other parts of the City before annexation with topography, land use and
population density similar to those reasonable contemplated or projected in the area. It is anticipated
that solid waste collection can be effectively accommodated within the current budget and staff
appropriation.
D. Maintenance of Public Roads and Streets
N/A – Roads and/or streets are not part of the annexation area.
E. Parks, Playgrounds and Swimming Pools
Parks and recreation services will be provided through the existing facilities at a level of service not
less than exists in the area immediately preceding annexation.
Additional park development in the annexed areas will be addressed through the development
standards and procedures of the City as residential development occurs. Such park development
includes, but is not limited to, dedication of park land and/or money in lieu of land in accordance
with the City of College Station Subdivision Regulations.
F. Other Public Building and Facilities
N/A - Public buildings and facilities are not included in the annexation area.

WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The water and wastewater utility extension policy of the City of College Station is as follows:
The cost of off-site extension of water and wastewater facilities to serve a lot, tract, plat, or land
development shall be borne by the owner or developer of the lot, tract, plat, or land by direct installation
or through the use of Impact Fees. Where such extension is consistent with plans for the development of
the City and its utility system the City may, by decision of the City Council, participate in the cost of
construction so as to provide for additional capacity for the overall development of an area.
The cost of water and wastewater facilities necessary to serve existing lots or new development within a
subdivision plat or land development shall be borne by the lot owner or developer of the plat or land by
direct installation or through the use of Impact Fees. Standard tap fees or other installation fees in effect
on a citywide basis are in addition to impact fees levied.
ANNEXATION AREA
Water
The annexation is located within the water CCN service territory of WSUD. No water
infrastructure will be provided to this area after annexation. Properties located within the water
CCN service territory of WSUD will continue to be served by WSUD after annexation.
Wastewater
The property within the annexation area is not currently served by sewer (private or public).
Future development on the property may utilize a private on-site sewer treatment system or access
the public sewer line in a manner consistent with the City’s utility extension policy.
VI. LEVEL OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
It is the intent of the City of College Station to provide the level of services required by State law. The
City Council finds and determines that the services, infrastructure and infrastructure maintenance
proposed by this plan are comparable to that provided to other parts of the City with topography, land
use, and population density reasonably similar to the annexed area and will not reduce the level of
services available to the territory prior to annexation.
Nothing in this plan shall require the City to provide a uniform level of full municipal services to each
area of the City, including the annexed area, if different characteristics of topography, land use, and
population density are considered a sufficient basis for providing different levels of service.
VII. TERM
This service plan shall be valid for a term of ten (10) years. Renewal of the service plan shall be at the
discretion of City Council.
VIII. AMENDMENTS
The service plan may be amended if the City Council determines at a public hearing that changed
conditions or subsequent occurrences make this service plan unworkable or obsolete. The City Council
may amend the service plan to conform to the changed conditions or subsequent occurrences pursuant to
the TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, Section 43.056 (Vernon 1999 and Vernon Supp. 2007).

Regular Agenda Item No. 3
Resolution Authorizing Publication of Notice for Certificates of Obligation
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Jeff Kersten, Chief Financial Officer
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion to approve a resolution by
the City Council of the City of College Station, Texas, directing publication of notice of
intention to issue certificates of obligation, series 2008; and providing an effective date.
Recommendation(s): Council approves the attached resolution directing publication
of notice of the intention to issue certificates of obligation.
Summary: The City Council is authorized to approve the issuance of certificates of
obligation (COs) after approving a resolution directing notices to be published of the intent
to issue the COs.
The City of College Station typically issues debt to fund various capital projects identified
and approved as a part of the annual budget.
Certificates of Obligation (COs) are based on the full faith and credit of the City and are paid
primarily through the debt service portion of the ad valorem tax rate. Certificates of
Obligation normally include at least one additional revenue stream besides the debt service
portion of the tax rate such as utility revenues. The City's policy for issuing certificates of
obligation allows more flexibility in their issue than General Obligation Bonds, which are
authorized by the voters, particularly when other revenues are anticipated to assist in debt
service.
The City’s Financial Advisor recommended that the City issue Certificate of Obligations for
utility projects instead of Utility Revenue Bonds (URBs). The Utility systems will still cover
their associated portion of debt service through utility revenues. The efficiency of combining
the debt is as follows:
· Economies of scale: The City can save on issuance cost by combining the two
issues. The estimate cost savings is $75,000 to $100,000 each year that we issue.
· Better ratings: COs are rated Aa3/AA while URBs are rated A1/A+. Selling only
the higher rated COs will result in lower bond insurance premiums and lower bond
interest rates.
· More marketable bonds: Combining the two issues will provide substantially
larger block sizes in each maturity. Having block sizes in excess of $1 million per
year will likely attract institutional investors to the City’s bonds where as before
the market was essentially retail oriented investors.
· Reserve fund requirements: The URBs require that the City fund a debt service
reserve fund unless the bonds are insured by a bond insurer, who at the time of
the issuance, is AAA rated. Currently, the only bond insurer that remains AAA
50
rated by both Moody’s and Standards & Poors is Financial Security Assurance
(FSA).
In addition to the utility projects, this particular debt issue is planned to provide resources
for park projects, city facility projects, cemetery development projects, street projects,
technology projects and debt issuance costs. The total amount of this issue is $26,350,000.
At the July 24 meeting, the City Council will consider approval of the Preliminary Official
Statements for the Certificates of Obligation and General Obligation Bonds. The bond sale
for the Certificates of Obligation and General Obligation Bonds is scheduled for August 18
and will be on that agenda for City Council consideration.
Budget & Financial Summary: Staff reviewed the impact of the Certificates on the City's
ability to meet debt service requirements and the effect they may have on the ad valorem
tax rate. The recommendation to move forward with this issue will not impact the ad
valorem tax rate, as long as revenues from the sale of cemetery lots are received as
projected to pay the cemetery portion of the debt service. The impact on the utility rates
will be reviewed as part of the financial forecast and FY09 budget.

Council Meeting Procedures
61
POLICY ON COUNCIL MEETING PROCEDURES
Upon adoption of this policy by the City Council, the following rules and
order of business will be adhered to. Such action is in accordance with
Section 32 of the Charter of the City of College Station, which states that the
Council shall determine its own rules and order of business.
MEETINGS
Regular Meetings will be held on the second and fourth Thursday of each
month. Such meeting will be held at City Hall in the Council Chambers
commencing at 7:00 pm. Special meetings shall be called, upon request of
the Mayor or a majority of the members of the City Council as prescribed by
the City Charter Section 30. Should the City Manager identify a need for a
special meeting, he shall consult with the Mayor to schedule said meeting.
All meetings shall be subject to the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings
Act, V.T.C.A., Government Code, Ch. 551, Open Meetings, as amended.
Work Study Sessions will generally commence the 2nd and 4th Thursday of
each month at 3:00 p.m. This time is subject to change at the discretion of
the City Council. Items presented at this meeting will relate to Council
Strategic Initiatives. Periodic Work sessions will also be scheduled to
provide City Council time to discuss short term and long term goals. The
general public can, of course, attend such meetings, but may not participate
in the proceedings unless invited to do so by the Mayor.
Executive Sessions are an exception to the general rule that all meetings are
open to the public. Executive Session shall be held on the 2nd and 4th
Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m. unless a special meeting is called by
the Mayor and the City Manager. The Open Meetings Act allows closed
meetings in a few specific instances where privacy serves the public interest
- i.e. to discuss real estate, economic development, personnel matters. The
Council must keep a record of the meeting and it shall be certified by the
Mayor to assure that all matters discussed in executive session were
properly recorded. The executive session will recess or conclude at 6:45
p.m. to allow adequate time for Council members to prepare for regular
meeting.
62
Council Meeting Procedures Page 2
AGENDA
Agendas are prepared and posted for every meeting of the governmental
body. The Work Study Session agenda provides for Council members to
submit future agenda items. Notice on the Work Study Session agenda shall
read as follows: (A Councilmember may inquire about a subject for which
notice has not been given. A statement of specific factual information or the
recitation of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited
to a proposal to place the subject on an agenda for a subsequent meeting.
A Council member may make a motion to recommend an issue be placed on
a future agenda. Upon seconded and passed by a majority, the City
Manager will assign the item to a future agenda.)
A three-month planning agenda calendar shall be provided to the Council by
the City Manager’s office.
The Mayor, working in conjunction with the City Manager, will exercise the
best judgment in determining what other items of business should come
before the Council. Any member of the city staff wishing to have an item
placed on the agenda shall submit that item to the City Manager’s office for
approval.
Staff will deliver agenda packets for all Work Study Sessions and Regular
Meetings on the Friday afternoon preceding the week of scheduled meetings.
This should afford ample time for all Council members to inquire into the
nature of each matter to be discussed or to personally investigate the matter
so as to be better informed before a Council meeting.
The Public Communications and Marketing Department assumes the
responsibility for issuing a copy of the agenda to newspapers, radio, and
television stations.
The City Secretary’s office assumes the responsibility for compliance with the
Open Meetings Act.
First two items on the regular Council agenda shall be to recite the Pledge of
Allegiance and the invocation.
These procedures shall apply to all meetings of the City Council. The Mayor
shall be the presiding officer at all meetings of the City Council and have a
voice in all of its proceedings. Council members shall speak only upon being
recognized by the presiding officer whose recognition shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In the event of the absence of the Mayor and Mayor
63
Council Meeting Procedures Page 3
Pro Tem, the Mayor shall designate the presiding officer. In the event the
Mayor has failed to designate the presiding officer, the council member with
the most seniority shall serve as presiding officer. In the event of equal
seniority, the council member with the lowest numbered place shall preside.
PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
In regular and special meetings, Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised
10th Edition (2000) will be followed. The following are commonly used
procedures:
1. MAIN MOTION: A formal proposal that certain action be taken.
Step 1. Addressing the Chair. (Begin the discussion by having a member make
the motion. Motion should be made and seconded. After this, debate
can be conducted. (Ex: "Mayor, I move the following…").
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE Yes
AMENDABLE Yes
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
Step 2. Assigning the floor (Mayor recognizes the member)
Step 3. Making the motion.
Step 4. Seconding the motion.
Step 5. Stating the motion. (Mayor states the motion)
Step 6. Debating the question. (Mayor allows debate, with maker of motion
speaking first in debate).
Step 7. Putting the question. (Mayor takes the vote after debate is complete)
Step 8. Announcing the result of vote. (Mayor announces the vote, members
for and against).
2. TO TAKE FROM THE TABLE. To enable an assembly to take up and consider a
motion that was postponed temporarily during the same meeting. Maybe used
at a future meeting if the item that was tabled was posted.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE No
AMENDABLE No
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
3. AMENDING A MOTION. Any motion may be amended as follows: "Mayor, I
move that we amend the motion by (adding, striking out, etc. the words…)."
The amendment must be seconded and then it can be discussed. When
discussion ends, the amendment is voted on first. If the amendment passes,
the original motion is then put to a vote as amended. If the amendment fails,
the original motion is put to a vote.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
64
Council Meeting Procedures Page 4
DEBATABLE Yes
AMENDABLE Yes
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
4. TO OFFER A SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT. Another way to change an original
motion is by use of the Substitute Motion. A substitute motion is just an
amendment that changes an entire sentence or paragraph. It must be
seconded and then discussed. It may be amended and differs only from an
amendment in that if the substitute motion passes it does away with the
original motion.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE Yes
AMENDABLE Yes
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
5. LAY A MOTION ON THE TABLE. Sometimes a board or committee may wish to
defer action on a motion. One way to accomplish this is to lay a motion on the
table. It is in order to move that a main motion be laid on the table when
discussion on the main motion has or is about to end. A tabled motion can be
brought from the table during the same meeting but is usually done so at a
later meeting when unfinished business is being considered.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE No
AMENDABLE No
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
6. MOTION TO CLOSE DEBATE (call for question). To prevent or stop discussion
on the pending question, and to bring the pending question or questions to an
immediate vote.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE No
AMENDABLE No
VOTE REQUIRED 2/3 (5 of 7 members present)
7. POINT OF ORDER. Anytime a member feels an incorrect procedure is being
used, he can interrupt with a point of order request that requires the mayor to
decide what the correct procedure is. Can have no motion applied to it except
the motion to withdraw.
SECOND REQUIRED No
DEBATABLE No
AMENDABLE No
VOTE REQUIRED Mayor must concede or deny.
65
Council Meeting Procedures Page 5
RIGHTS IN DEBATE
Robert's says that debate is the discussion regarding a motion that occurs
after the presiding officer has restated the motion and before putting it to a
vote.
When a pending question is presented for consideration to the Council, the
presiding officer shall recognize the member who made the motion to speak
first and the member who seconded the motion to speak second. When two
or more members wish to speak, the presiding officer shall name the
member who is to speak first. No member of the Council shall interrupt
another while speaking except to make a point of order or to make a point of
personal privilege. No member shall speak more than five minutes on any
amendment to the question except as further provided in this rule.
No member shall speak more than the time limits provided herein on any
subject or amendment, and such member may use his or her time in any
combination, in separate speech or comments totaling the number of
minutes permitted. The Mayor shall not be obligated to recognize any
Council member for a second comment on the subject or amendment until
every Council member wishing to speak has been allowed a first comment.
Council members shall also have the right to yield a portion of time to
another member.
Any member deciding to speak more than five minutes on any question or
more than five minutes on any amendment to the question shall be accorded
the privilege without objection upon motion supported by two-thirds of the
Council. No member shall be permitted to interrupt while another member
is speaking.
No Council member shall be permitted to indulge in personalities, use
language personally offensive, arraign motives of members, charge
deliberate misrepresentation, or use language tending to hold a member of
the City Council up to contempt.
If a member is speaking or otherwise transgressing the rules of the Council,
the presiding officer shall or any Council member may call him or her to
order in which case he or she shall immediately be quiet unless permitted to
explain. The Council shall, if appealed to, decide the case without debate. If
the decision is in favor of the member call to order, he or she shall be at
liberty to proceed, but not otherwise.
66
Council Meeting Procedures Page 6
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Each Council member should be aware of the conflict of interest regulations,
including Charter provisions and state statutes.
When a Council member has a conflict of interest with an agenda item, he or
she should submit the required affidavit (if required) prior to the beginning
of the meeting at which the agenda item is scheduled. Upon introduction of
the agenda item, the Council member with the conflict of interest should
announce that he or she has a conflict of interest and will not participate in
discussion or consideration of the agenda item. It is not necessary that the
Council member leave the meeting room.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Staff will assist the public as they arrive to a Council meeting to briefly
explain the meeting procedures and direct citizens who want to address the
Council on a city related subject or an agenda item. The public attending
any called meeting will be invited to sign a guest register. The City
Secretary as a matter of record will add their names to the minutes of said
meeting.
If an individual does not wish to address the City Council, but still wishes to
be recorded in the official minutes as being in support or opposition to an
agenda item, the individual may complete the registration form provided in
the lobby by providing the name, address, and comments about a city
related subject. These comments will be referred to the City Council and
City Manager.
The following rules will be enforced by the Mayor during any called meeting
of the City Council.
HEAR VISITORS
The Hear Visitors section is listed on the Regular Meeting Agenda to give the
public the opportunity to address the City Council on any item which does
not appear on the posted Agenda. Registration forms are available in the
lobby and at the desk of the City Secretary. This form should be completed
and delivered to the City Secretary by 6:45 p.m. Limit remarks to three
minutes. A timer alarm will sound after 2 1/2 minutes to signal that you
have thirty seconds remaining so that you may conclude your remarks. The
City Council will receive the information, ask staff to look into the matter, or
place the issue on a future agenda. Topics of operational concerns shall be
directed to the City Manager.
GENERAL
